Some Public Schools : Their Cost and Scholarships. By Henry

St.

Clair Feilden and Malcolm Heard. (Sampson Low and Co.)—Here we have a statement of the cost of education, and of the help in scholarships, etc., which may be obtained at some ninety schools. The information has been corrected by the head master or by one of the staff in every instance but one. The cost at Eton varies from 2180 to £220; at Harrow from 2135 to £180. This is the statement, but the comparison is hardly exact, the Eton estimate being compre- hensive, as it allows not less than 230 for personal expenses. It would have been useful to exhibit the absolutely necessary payments in one list. Here are some of the best known schools :- Harrow /135—£180 Charterhouse

£110 Eton £115—C156 Shrewsbury £90 Winchester £115 Marlborough £87

Rugby £112 Cheltenham £70-85

£70—£85
